Most fintech companies, especially BNPL are one circular (from the RBI) away from shutting down.

True. Simpl and LazyPay still operate in grey areas and just 1 RBI regulation away from being impacted. Also RBI regulations last year caused Slice to change their whole business model

What’s the grey area they are operating in ? They pay the merchant directly right at checkout and earn a commission from that.

They followed suit with ZestMoney I guess. They had layoffs last week and removed 25% junior roles across all depts. PhonePe took 25 senior folks
